# ScraperScript
|
||||
|
||||
A simple bookmarklet that lets you click any element in a page and returns the smallest unique (and reliable) selector it can find for that element.
|
||||
|
||||
**Usecase:** Figuring out a CSS-style selector for screenscraping.
|
||||
|
||||
**How to use the selector:** Use your favourite screenscraping library with CSS selector support. If you are using BeautifulSoup, you'll need to use my [patched version](https://github.com/joepie91/beautifulsoup) to have support for :nth-of-type() pseudoselectors as returned by ScraperScript.
|
||||
|
||||
**How to make it stop killing my input:** Just click the X in the ScraperScript bar. ScraperScript will release your input.
|
||||
|
||||
Known bugs:
|
||||
|
||||
* On certain kinds of elements (some submit buttons, some elements with click events), ScraperScript can't prevent the attached event from happening. I'm unsure what causes this.
|
||||
* You can't ctrl+C the selector because keyboard input is killed when ScraperScript is running. Needs to be fixed to allow ctrl+C.
